“Education is not filling a bucket but lighting a fire.”
- William B. Yeats, poet
Education is one of the cornerstones of a successful life. In a recent government study it was determined that average annual earnings are approximately $18,900 for high school dropouts, $25,900 for high school graduates and $45,400 for college graduates. This means that an adult’s average lifetime earnings are $1.2 million for a high-school graduate, but $2.1 million for those with a bachelor's degree. Rochester Housing Authority would like to see our residents achieve their educational goals.
In addition to obtaining a high school education, RHA’s Resident Services Department supports the pursuit of higher education. Your Case Manager can help direct you to the services you need to obtain your degree such as tuition assistance, stipends for textbooks, child care subsidies, and transportation vouchers.
Other educational goals may be receiving an Adult Basic Education, Adult Literacy, or learning English as a Second Language.
For more information about the FSS program and education please contact your Public Housing or Section 8 Housing Specialist for a referral to the Resident Services Department for an orientation.
